Overall, The UK and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine are the leading collaborating partners of sub-Saharan Africa.

In malaria, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is the leading European collaborating partner with sub-Saharan Africa. Globally, around 30,000 papers have been published in malaria research between 2003 and 2011 with Sub-Saharan African research doubling over the last decade. In terms of clinical trials specifically, LSHTM was the principal institution conducting malaria trials producing more than twice as many papers as the top three sub-Saharan African institutions (Makerere University, KEMRI at Kisumu and University of Bamako). In total, the LSHTM Malaria Centre is associated with the most (137) clinical trials research papers in sub-Saharan Africa (Table 6.1.1 on page 94 of the report). Clinical trials research activity in malaria is highest in East and West Africa, which correlates to burden of disease and overall malaria research.
